Scrappy Moms Stamps Halloween Hop!

Spooky Saturday to everyone!

Thank you for joining us on the Scrappy Moms Stamps Halloween Hop! I don't know about you but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays! The kids and I always pick out costumes as soon as they hit the shelves and the candy wait patiently around out house for several weeks for Trick or Treaters to come. :)

For this Halloween I decided to try to make a banner. I learned a few lessons on the way...one being - if you are going to use a rosette, cut a shape or circle to go directly top of it before you add your letter. I didn't and... well, you'll see!


LOL It's not horrible but I wish I would have added solid colored circles beneath my "BOO". Here are some close-ups of the individual letters...





I used Birthday Bash for the banner, Happy Hauntings for the font and the witches hat, the spider is from Doodlecharms, and the bat is from Paper Doll Dress Up. I use 3 stamps from our brand new Halloween set Bewitched -


All in all, I had fun making this project - it was a little time consuming but it turned out pretty well. Oh, and did you notice all my cute costume rubber duckies? I found them at Michaels for $1 a pair!! :D

I hope you found my project frightfully enjoyable! Your next stop on the hop is the FANG-TASTIC Lauren from Lauren's Creative! (Be sure to leave a comment on each stop for a chance to win a Scrappy Moms Stamps set of your choice!)

Sun Kissed Sneak Peek #2

Welcome back! I hope your weekend is off to a good start! We are headed to my hubby's company picnic today - should be fun!! :)

I have a quick little card for you today. I LOVE my Cricut but have been going crazy over "Woodsies" lately! They carry them in all the craft stors - Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Joanns (where I found this one). They are all so cute I wish I could take them all home with me. The make putting a card together REALLY fast and easy. I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do with this one when I saw it...


I used this card base for the "My Funny Valentine" card and I fell in love with it so I thought I would pull it up on my Gypsy and re-purpose it here. The base and layers are from Birthday Bash. :)

I was thinking this would be a fun card for Father's Day or even the 4th of July. I hope you all enjoyed it! Be sure to vist the rest of the Scrappy Moms Stamps DT to see what they have created for you - see my side bar for a list. :)

Have a WONDERFUL Saturday!

PS - I added a few more fun "Summer" songs to my playlist at the bottom if you feel in the mode to listen to some more! :)

Furry Friends Sneak Peek #2

Happy Thursday! Just a quick post and then I'm off to bed, LOL...


My card today uses Birthday Bash for the main image - I just LOVE this little Kangaroo and her baby! Soooo cute! I haven't made an easel card for a while so I thought, why not? And of course, I had to use some baker's twine! It's not an extremely detailed card, but sometimes simple is good - right? :)

I hope you like my 2nd project made with Furry Friends, thank you for stopping by!

Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Simply Charmed

Hi all! Sorry this is going up late.... Here is my project for this weeks Terrific Tuesday Challenge with Scrappy Moms Stamps.


I was still finishing this very late last night and I'm not sure how I feel about it. LOL

The litte can is cut at 2.95" and the pizza at 2.15". The card bash is from Birthday bash and the sentiment is from our Scrappy Moms Stamps The Charmed Life set. The face stamps are PKS Happy Lashes. :)

Thank you all for stopping by today - I hope that all of you get a chance to play along with our challenge!

Love Notes - Sneak Peek #2

Happy Saturday everyone! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! :)

Here's another Valantine's day card made with our new Scrappy Moms Stamps Love Notes set...


The card base is from Birthday Bash - it's hard to tell but the red edge of the card is actually the back. The striped paper is actually the front of the card and is about a quarter inch smaller on sides. I played around with the shape in my Gypsy - I wanted it to fit an A2 envelope and the original shape is only about 3" wide with that height. So I widend it till it was just about 4" wide. The little people are from Car Decals - which just came in the mail today! Can you tell I was waiting for it?! LOL

This is actually the second version of this card. I originally made the my little man blue - but he really didn't "blend in" well with the other colors. I tried to do two reds but the lightest red I had was still to similar too the darker color. So he wound up white and red instead. What to see the original blue man? LOL Here he is....


Thank you for taking the time to stop by today - be sure to visit the other Scrappy Moms Design Team members for more sneak peeks! :)

New Designers Choice Card and a Winner! :)

Hi, all! I hope that you are all having a great holiday season!

I made a quick card today using Birthday Bash and Carousel, and of course, my sweet Gypsy. :)

The elephant is cut at 3.5" and I welded two ticket shapes together to make the card base. The elephant is also on a Wobbles - I LOVE them. Hopefully, Santa will bring me a new video camera so that I can take a video of how cute they are when they wiggle! :)

I also have a winner from the Homemade Hop - sorry, it has taken so long! It's been a hectic week! LOL

Great cards. I like how you used the same layout & cut different images. I have been making so many Christmas cards, so I know the work you put in them. I would love to win your stamps.
